Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here.

John Smyrach is back with us today.

John is editor over at TheStream, which you can check out at Stream.org.

I'm going to be linking to one of his articles from that site on the show notes page today.

He's also the author of among other books, the politically incorrect guide to Catholicism.

And he's got a long article on the subject of gun rights.

With a particular emphasis on the religious origins of such rights and what's wrong with,

lobby for gun violence.

defend themselves.

So we're going to hash that out today.

John, welcome back.
